please…? sir…? may i blog now…?
Who’s this “sir”? Is it is the one G. M. Hopkins addresses in “Thou art indeed just, Lord/if I contend with thee; but so, sir, what I plead is just…”?
Did I in some rash moment, now forgotten, utter the prayer, “stop me before I blog again!”?
Many of us who blog are plagued, when we return to the sphere after more than a week’s silence, with the red-cheeked need to explain why we’ve been gone. To make excuses. Maybe even to promise this was the last time, really, I’m going straight honest please oh please honey just give me one more chance.
Just now, I’m way past that. Right now I just want to kvetch.
Why me? Why must I live in a universe where cheapskates who signed up for free blogs from blogspot can blog, while I, who pay good money for my own domain on my own host, will wait 90 seconds or longer for this post to post, and this after waiting three days for my hosting company to fix the file server that dishes out my pages, and that after two database failures in the prior two days?
Why?
Okay. That’s done. I feel better now.
Look for posts here about the shopping I should have done for a hosting provider before I signed with a new one last month.
